Thanks! Round house carriers are much better than the stock carrier. Roundhouse carrier http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-YAMAHA-BANSHEE-YFZ350-BEARING-CARRIER-35mm-/250959385906?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a6e585532&vxp=mtr Stock Carrier http://www.ebay.com/itm/SRP-Dual-Row-Bearing-Carrier-YFZ350-Banshee-All-Years-Stock-Swing-Arm-/150743225285?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2318ff13c5&vxp=mtr Not sure what you are asking as far as the diferences. BTW, Stellar uses roundhouse carriers on his swingarms. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Just wanted to know what is the difference? Because its only a carrier.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 if you can not tell the difference, you most likely should not be building a swingarm, just saying. As much as I hate to agree with Zillafreak, I agree. If you don't know the difference between the two you have NO business building them.

Concrete Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 "Roundhouse" is just the carrier style not a company like Stellar who can make you roundhouse swingarms.... As for differences, the roundhouse style bearing carriers tolerates more axial and radial load and can take more abuse.... Axial and radial load is just a fancy way of saying side to side, and up and down loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axial and radial load is just a fancy way of saying side to side, and up and down loading. Um, actually a ball bearing isn't at all designed to take an axial load at all. An angular contact bearing is designed to take a load from both directions and a thrust bearing is designed to take an axial load. The bearing housing has nothing to do with the load the bearing can sustain. Just sayin....... SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Haha just use a roundhouse "style". Get a carrier, then find the right size tube then fab it up. Whammo there u go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Biggest difference is how it adjusts. Round house uses ecentric (two different center lines) And you can figure stock. I do believe Stellar does sell just the pre cut tube for carrier. And Zilla, think about what you said as opposed to your "project" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 JJ&A Racing sells all the pieces you need to build a swingarm as does Stellar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
